The problem with this particular one is that there are a number of Markdown
libraries, so this one clearly isn't "the one".  Unlike, say, ocaml-re,
which is generally what people pick as a regular expression library.

This all sounds good.  One other criteria that is loosely enforced is that
we only put libraries up here that are used by ocaml.org infrastructure.
This includes ocaml-re, oasis and of course the website repos themselves.
There will eventually be a Markdown library here too, but we should give
it some time to figure out which one that is (Philippe is investigating
the options).

That's a good question -- we just mail Github support to do the switch
at the moment.

I'd prefer you remove it and move it to wherever you prefer rather than
me deleting other people's repositories!
